*ONE BIG SPOILER*

Gee, isn't the plot like Speed-2? Hasn't this done before a lot of times? That feeling came to mind before and after watching this low budget flick.

You believe a secret agent gets authorisation to transmit through a radio with his son back home, when no-one else gets an opportunity to communicate with the ship? Don't you see the consequences of this possibility, miles ahead?

It's the obvious low budget characteristic that annoyed me in the beginning of the movie. People talking about who they are and what they are going to do (Something like: "as a 10 year-experienced secret agent I wil blablabla") instead of stories building up, are indications of a weak plot.

An agent that saves a ship from exploding by driving a bomb away a mile or so is praised to have saved everyone. Need I say more? Okay, the broken relationships, struggles between colleagues and family also had to be included to please the female audience. For males: just dumb explosions and gunstuff. The dvdbox-cover fooled me, don't make the same mistake! (Attack on the queen, also with the title Counterstrike, makes one think again)
